Tatit RT, Raffa PEAZ, de Almeida Motta GC, Bocchi AA, Guimaraes JL, Franceschini PR, de Aguiar PHP. Rosai-Dorfman disease mimicking images of meningiomas: Two case reports and literature review. Surg Neurol Int 2021; 12:292. [PMID: 34221623 PMCID: PMC8247728 DOI: 10.25259/sni_918_2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytic proliferative disorder classically as a massive cervical lymphadenopathy. However, over the years, extranodal locations were confirmed with the central nervous system involvement in less than 5% of cases, which is marked as a significant differential diagnosis of meningiomas, with which they are widely confused due to the similarity of their radiological images. Case Description: We report a 37-year-old man and 45-year-old man who were diagnosed with intracranial RDD but whose radiological images mimic meningiomas, requiring anatomopathological and tumor’s immunohistochemistry for definitive diagnosis. Moreover, a review of 184 publications with 285 cases of intracranial involvement of this disease was also performed, comparing these findings with those brought in the previous studies. Conclusion: Intracranial Rosai-Dorfman tumors should always be remembered as differential diagnosis of meningiomas since they are similar radiologically and macroscopically. Once remembered and diagnosed, the lesion must be treated following the same pattern of resection done in meningiomas and, treatment’s differences will not occur in the surgical excision technique, but in complementary chemotherapy implementation, radiotherapy, and even with radiosurgery aid, depending on the case. Thus, it is possible to obtain better results than with just the isolated surgical procedure.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an extremely rare histiocytic disorder characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy, while the involvement of sellar region is less observed. Here we report a pediatric patient who was initially suspected as sellar germinoma but later identified as RDD. We also conducted a systematic review about RDD involving sellar region. A total of only 14 cases were included and analyzed in our study in terms of clinical presentation, endocrine abnormality, radiological features, pathology, treatment, and follow up. The most common neurological manifestations of sellar RDD is diabetes insipidus and visual changes. Two typical kinds of MRI manifestations were presented in sellar RDD; one is like meningioma-like mass lesions, another showing infiltrative pattern that demonstrates hyperintense areas on T2WI. Currently, the treatment of RDD is tailored to the individual clinical circumstances. For sellar RDD, surgical treatment can be considered to completely remove or debulk the tumor.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare idiopathic and lymphoproliferative disorder. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is infrequent and typically manifests as an isolated lesion. In this article, we describe an unusual case of RDD with multiple lesions in the CNS, upper respiratory tract and lymph nodes. A literature review revealed 45 cases (including the one described herein) of systemic RDD with CNS involvement documented to date. Among these cases, 29 (64.4%) presented with intracranial lesions, 10 (22.2%) with spinal lesions and 6 (13.3%) with both. While the condition of most patients was stable, only four died from RDD or for other reasons. Prognosis is good for most patients, even those with extensive lesions. Although there are various treatments for RDD, surgery is preferred. Given the rarity of RDD, multicenter international collaborations are advocated in order to study disease pathogenesis and develop effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is an uncommon benign idiopathic lymphoproliferative disorder. The histologic hallmark of RDD is the finding of emperipolesis displayed by lesional histiocytes. While RDD most commonly affects lymph nodes, extranodal involvement of multiple organs has been reported, including the central nervous system (CNS). However, CNS involvement in RDD is rare and is not well characterized. As a result, therapeutic approaches to CNS involvement in RDD are not well established. Herein we report 6 cases of RDD with isolated CNS involvement and review the literature on RDD with CNS involvement. One of the presented cases exhibited intramedullary involvement of the spinal cord--a very rare form of RDD with CNS involvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare, idiopathic, histiocytic proliferative disorder, the infrequent occurrence of which limits in-depth studies. Consequently, many characteristics of this disease remain unknown, restricting early diagnosis and proper treatment. METHODS In this study, the literature was reviewed and a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 13 patients with RDD conducted to investigate the demographic data, clinical data, laboratory and imaging results, treatment, and prognosis of this disease. RESULTS Of the 13 cases in our sample, 10 (77%) were purely extranodal RDD, 2 (15%) were both nodal and extranodal, and 1 (8%) was purely nodal. The locations of the 10 purely extranodal RDD lesions included the central nervous system (n = 6, 60%), nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (n = 3, 30%), and the cutis (n = 1, 10%). The locations of the central nervous system-related RDD lesions included the cerebral subdura (n = 2, 29%), the sellar region (n = 3, 14%), the cerebral parenchyma (n = 1, 14%) and the spinal subdura (n = 1, 14%). Ten patients (77%) had stable conditions, 3 (23%) experienced recurrence, and 2 (15%) experienced recurrence and lesion metastasis. CONCLUSIONS RDD is rare, requiring knowledge of its clinical manifestations for a rapid and correct diagnosis. In light of the possibility of recurrence and lesion metastasis, long-term follow-up is needed. Treatment is still controversial. Future efforts should be directed at investigating the etiology and postoperative treatment for relapsing cases or those with subresected lesions.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease [RDD] is a condition of an unknown etiology, characterized by proliferation of histiocytes. Not uncommonly extranodal lesions occur, but sellar involvement is very rare. Treatment of this lesion is complicated, especially in cases of recurrences at multiple intracranial sites. We report two cases of RDD in the sellar region with intracranial recurrences to illustrate the clinicopathological features and considerations of the optimal management.
